Karen Mayo: Nutrition for Brain Health | The Healing Grove Podcast

The Healing Grove Podcast

This week I would like to introduce you to Karen Mayo, an Integrative Nutritionist who is currently working out of the Amen Clinics in New York. She’s the award-winning international best-selling author of Mindful Eating: Thirty Days to A Whole New You. She has also made appearances on the Dr. Oz Show, The Jack Canfield Show, and on the TEDx stage.
Karen has made it her life's work to teach people that how they eat matters. After seeing an almost miraculous change in her nephew when feeding him a nutritious diet, she knew her calling in life and has been pursuing it ever since.
When I met Karen in the waiting room of the Amen Clinics, I knew that we were kindred spirits, because we both believe nutrition to be a key factor in overall health. Food can be a hard topic for some of us to tackle, but Karen does it in a way that makes the complexities of nutrition accessible to us all, by zeroing in on the essentials and offering practical suggestions you can immediately implement into your daily routine. As Karen likes to say,
“It’s not about dieting, it’s about living!”
